Closure has a unique set of challenges and is one of the stages that is too often
done badly (Ceran & Dorman, 1995). The preferred outcome is a project that
provides the deliverables and is shut down in a controlled and progressive manner
(PMI, 2004), leaving everyone content (Meredith & Mantel, 1995). In other words,
the project should satisfy all the stakeholders: the client, project organisation,
sub-contractors, and the team members. The problem is that the project can either
grind on interminably consuming a steady trickle of resources, or terminate abruptly
by providing only the basic deliverables and leaving loose ends all over.
This paper describes the process of closure and presents various findings from the
research literature.

Water from the cup filler of dental chair units (CFDC) was observed to contain sphingomonads,
environmental mycobacteria and methylobacteria, among other minor bacteria. Some of the bacteria
detected are recognized opportunistic pathogens. Some of these, tended to persist over time.

A heated/cooled chair was evaluated for its effect on thermal sensation and comfort. Twentythree
college students participated in 69 2.25-hour tests. Two heated/cooled chairs were
placed in an environmental chamber resembling an office environment. The chamber
temperatures were set at 16°C, 18°C and 29°C. During the tests the subjects had full control
of the chair power through a knob located on the chair. Data from a previous study conducted
with sixteen subjects at the same three temperatures but with regular mesh or cushion chairs
were used as reference results for comparison.
Subjective responses about thermal sensation and comfort were obtained at 15-minute
intervals. The results show that the heated/cooled chair strongly influences the subjects’
thermal sensation and improves ...

Acceleration during double rotation in a Barany chair for eliminating unsuitable applicants from flight and spaceflight duty is considered. Formulae accompany the text, as do illustrations, to indicate method and parameters. Effects of rotation on the semicircular canal and the vestibular apparatus in a rolling sensation was experienced by some subjects.

The 13 Human Research Program (HRP) Standing Review Panel (SRP) Chairs, and in some cases one or two additional panel members (see section XIV, roster) referred to as the Chair (+1) SRP throughout this document, met at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) on December 7, 2010 to allow the HRP Elements and Projects to report on their progress over the past year, their current status, and their plans for the upcoming year based on NASA's current goals and objectives for human space exploration. A large focus of the meeting was also used to discuss integration across the HRP scientific disciplines based on a recommendation from the 2009 HRP SRP review. During the one-day meeting, each of the HRP Elements and Projects presented the changes they made to the HRP Integrated Research Plan (IRP Rev. B) over the last year, and what their top three...
